Kano State Police Command presents cheques totalling ₦7,573,231.83 to the families and next-of-kin of 17 police officers who died while serving. The cheques are handed over at the command headquarters in Bompai, Kano.

The payments are made under the Group Life Assurance Scheme, described in reports as part of a welfare initiative associated with the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu. Kano State Commissioner of Police Ibrahim Bakori speaks on behalf of the IGP during the handover and assures beneficiaries that the officers’ sacrifices will be remembered. He also urges recipients to use the funds wisely and maintain relationships with colleagues of the fallen.

Across the outlets, the core details match: the number of officers (17), the total amount (about ₦7.57 million), the cheque presentation in Bompai, and the insurance scheme basis for the disbursement. One report includes a beneficiary response from a retired officer receiving a cheque for his late wife, along with remarks from senior staff and families attending the event.
